Here's what you need to know about the 27-year-old from Stockholm, Sweden.

Ouch!

In what was scheduled to be his first full NHL season, Nemeth suffered a "a real severe" arm injury in a game against the Phladelphia Flyers. R.J. Umberger's skate came up and cut Nemeth along the wrist and arm. The injury required surgery and Nemeth missed the rest of the 2014-15 season.

"I think it involves everything," then-Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "When I say severe, that's probably an understatement. First and foremost, for his sake, I hope it's a full recovery."

He also tends to get hit by flying pucks quite often. Nemeth blocked 185 shots in 2017-18 a top-10 mark in the NHL.

Further proof of this came in 2015, when Nemeth, still with the Stars, had a puck that was shot and got stock in his visor.
